The random dropouts could be caused by the buffer not being high enough.. USB latency is extremely high.
Foobar can be set to use the ASIO4All Drivers for output to the BM.

AISO4All allows the buffer size to be increased.
So all he has to do is put a really high buffering sample
and maybe play with the latency compensation options?
I hope it works!
Hi Ashley,
thanks for the suggestion.
we tried that too, I even pushed the buffer settings all the way up to max - wouldn't think to run Foobar this way but had to try it.
The crackling and breakup occurred with asio and without it, using standard KMixer.
It didn't work in Windows Media Player either.
